Gees, where did all the used sets of CCW's go?

I'm finally ready to buy a used set and now there are none....

Looking for CCW C14's for C6 Z06 fitment.

Murphy's dang laws at their finest. Mine is always just opposite. I keep an eye on the for sale section, can't wait any more and pull the trigger when I find a decent deal on a new part, only to see exactly wanted I wanted in the for sale section a week later. Go figure.

These are 8" offset, like C5Z rears. I ran them on the front of my C6.

Sure Jim, I'll be happy to buy the 3 sets for $1500 and I'll even pick them up. Thanks!

What is the use of all those extra wheels, you can only put 4 on the car!!

-1 set for practice tires
-1 set for rain tires
-1 set for competition tires

Additional sets:
- because you have accumulated 3 and still don't feel like that's enough.
- because you saw someone else that had more than you and you couldn't take it.
- because why not?

Thanks to this thread, I'm finally comfortable admitting I've been somehat of a wheel hoarder myself; the realization of which I came to when counting up 18 of them while rearranging my storage shed a few months back. Got it down to 12. ...for now.


Sorry, no C6 fittments.
